Silver Nitrate Formula - Interesting Facts
1 Mole of Silver Nitrate contains:
1 Mole of Silver
From the table above, we can see that 1 Mole of Silver Nitrate weighs about 169.87 grams.1 Mole of Nitrogen 3 Moles of Oxygen [ Note: 1 Mole of Oxygen = 15.9994 grams (about 13.5 Cubic Feet!) ] You can then say that the Formula Weight of Silver Nitrate is 169.87 grams. Note: The terms: Formula Weight and Molecular Weight are the same thing.
What is a MOLE?
A Mole is the standard unit of measure in Chemistry (like a Gallon is to Gasoline). One Mole is 6.02 times 1023 atoms -or- molecules (groups of atoms).
Interesting Fact:
Silver Nitrate has a Density of 4.35 grams per Cubic Centimeter (when compressed) Silver Nitrate has a Density of 2.21 grams per Cubic Centimeter (in powder form) So, if 1 Mole of Silver Nitrate weighs 169.87 grams, 1 Mole of Silver Nitrate has a Volume of [ 169.87 / 4.35 ] -or- 39.05 Cubic Centimeters Even More Interesting is This: Silver Nitrate contains 4 Moles of gasses. [ 1 Mole Nitrogen + 3 Moles Oxygen ] 4 Moles of gasses normally occupy 13.5 Cubic Feet per Mole
So: 13.5 Cubic Feet times 4 = 54 Cubic Feet
So: 54 Cubic Feet converts to: 1,529,109 Cubic Centimeters (404 Gallons) So: The gasses in 1 Mole of Silver Nitrate have shrunk from: 1,529,109 Cubic Centimeters down to 39.05 Cubic Centimeters! (1,529,109 / 39.05) = 39,157 Times - This is AMAZING! In English: 404 Gallons of Gasses shrunk to: 0.0103159 Gallons! In English: 404 Gallons of Gasses shrunk to: 8 teaspoons!
